Emil du Bois-Reymond famously coined the Latin maxim Ignoramus et ignorabimus (‘we do not know, and we will not know’) in his book The Seven Enigmas of the Universe, arguing that when thought encounters its own logical limits, the fundamental problems governing the universe prove unsolvable. The phrase was soon adopted as a motto of modern agnosticism. Despite the remarkable advances of quantum physics, precision cosmology, and the standard model of the Big Bang, this agnostic stance remains tenable. This book offers a systematic articulation of the epistemological skepticism that underlies postmodern thought.
